After careful consideration, Zhang Huangyan had an idea in his heart, that is, to give up the imperial examination that would be held in two months, and instead be admitted to the Martial Arts Academy to study. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

In Zhang Huangyan's view, Daming did not have many of him as a jinshi and a civil official, but what he needed was a commander who could lead the troops to fight. Although Chen Yue, the king of Qi, is powerful, there is only one king of Qi in the Ming Dynasty now.

Now that the King of Qi is the governor of the capital and is in the court, he can't need the King of Qi to fight every battle in the future! Although there are many generals under King Qi, in Zhang Huangyan's opinion, except for Yan Yingyuan, there are not many who can lead the army alone. There are many brave generals, but there is a lack of handsome talents!

And Zhang Huangyan was originally interested in military strategy, and he was more willing to lead the army to win the battlefield than to be admitted to the Jinshi as a county commander.

Zhang Huangyan's ideal is to clear the universe of Zhongxing Daming, and now it seems that if you want to prosper Daming, you can only talk about it by annihilating Manchu first.

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, Qi King Chen Yue decided to set the time of the entrance examination of the Martial Arts Academy on the ninth day of the first month of November, the same day that Enke opened the exam.

The registration qualifications for the Armed Forces Academy are very simple, as long as the age is suitable for the Ming people, there is no limit to military or civilian status, as long as you are interested in the military, you can sign up. As long as he is admitted, he will be awarded the treatment of a seven-rank military attaché, which is enough to make many Ming people excited.

Although Daming has a saying that a good man should not be a soldier, this is not a soldier but an official! If it weren't for the tradition of being noble and lowly, the seven-rank military attache would already be at the same level as the county commander in terms of grade.

Of course, what made Zhang Huangyan excited was not the treatment of the Armament Academy, but that he was really ready to systematically learn military knowledge and put pen to paper to be a commander who led thousands of armies!

……

"What? You're going to give up Enko and apply for the Martial Arts Academy! Chen Zilong grew his mouth, and he couldn't shut up for a long time.

Since he had a quarrel with Zhang Huangyan more than a month ago, Zhang Huangyan left the Chen family, and Chen Zilong regretted it very much after carefully recalling it afterwards.

How can friends who have been friends for many years break up because of a momentary disagreement? And how can you put all your own opinions on your friends.

Chen Zilong knew that Zhang Huangyan was a gentleman, and arguing with himself was definitely not for personal gain, but more for the fate and future of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, I think more about myself, and I mix a lot of other factors......

After regretting it, Chen Zilong went out to look for Zhang Huangyan, but found out that Zhang Huangyan had left Nanjing and went to Jiangxi.

As Zhang Huangyan's confidant, Chen Zilong immediately understood Zhang Huangyan's intention, that is, to travel to Jiangxi in person, watch whether Jiangxi's politics are good or bad, and see how the King of Qi governs Jiangxi with Xu and Qiu Ba as officials?

So, Chen Zilong asked the servants to inquire about Zhang Huangyan's situation from time to time, and when he learned that he came to the door as soon as he returned to Beijing, who knew that he heard such a powerful news.

Zhang Huangyan actually wanted to give up Enke, give up the noble Jinshi military attaché, and even want to take the entrance examination for the martial arts academy to become Qiu Ba, which made Chen Zilong unacceptable!

"Brother Mao, what is the pursuit of my generation of scholars?" Zhang Huangyan didn't argue, and suddenly asked.

What do you pursue in reading? For most people, of course, it is to become an official and make a fortune. But for people like Chen Zilong and Zhang Huangyan, of course, they have long surpassed the low-level pursuit of being an official and making a fortune.

"Of course, the Qi family rules the country and equalizes the world." Chen Zilong said almost without thinking.

The phrase "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world" from "The Book of Rites University" is a phrase that almost all scholars often hang on their lips, and it is also the ideal pursuit of Confucianism. Of course, after many scholars were admitted to the Jinshi and became officials, they had already thrown this sentence out of the clouds, thinking about their own future and how to make a fortune.

For Chen Zilong, what makes him different from other officials is that he has never forgotten this sentence and his ideals. However, Chen Zilong also knew that the reason why Zhang Huangyan asked this question must mean something.

Zhang Huangyan nodded slightly, "What Brother Mao said is that self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world is the lifelong pursuit of my generation of scholars.

However, whether it is "University" or "Analects", there is no such thing as a noble and a martial artist. The first saint said that the six arts of the gentleman, the number of lile shooting imperial books, of which archery and imperial are in the category of martial arts, and the number is more useful in the army.

The sages paid attention to the six arts of gentlemen, and the scholars of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties were also able to enter and exit the generals, and lead soldiers and horses and other idle things. And when I came to the Ming Dynasty, the scholars became industrious and did not distinguish between the limbs and the grains, and they had long deviated from the teachings of the sages.

Now that I am suffering from internal and external troubles, Huang Yan thinks that there are not many more Jinshi civil officials, and one less is not less, and now I am even more lacking in people who can lead the army to fight and win thousands of miles. King Qi must have already understood this, so he held a military academy to cultivate more military talents for my Ming Dynasty.

Huang Yan is not talented, and he is willing to command the army to expel the Tartars and win the battlefield, even the horse leather shroud is also a happy thing in the world, better than a life of mediocrity. ”

Zhang Huangyan's words were sonorous and powerful, which made Chen Zilong stunned for a long time before he reacted, and then he was impressed.

There are fewer and fewer scholars like Zhang Huangyan who dare to act and not for fame and fortune.

"The ambition of the virtuous brother is long and knows!" Chen Zilong sighed with admiration, "But you don't have to enter the military preparation school to be a military general when you lead troops to fight, you can also lead troops after passing the Jinshi examination." Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong and other marshal supervisors from afar, and Yinxi, the governor of Huguang from near, which one is not a scholar from Jinshi to lead the army? ”

is related to Zhang Huangyan's future, as his friend Chen Zilong had to persuade again. After all, the tradition of being noble and martial is there, and he can't bear to see Zhang Huangyan go astray by not taking the exam.

"It is possible for scholars to lead soldiers, but they cannot know the details of the army, and the soldiers are suffering, as evidenced by the defeat and death of Lu Inspector and Sun Inspector. Of course, Brother Mao Zhong will say that the defeat of the two supervisors is not a crime of war, but I want to ask, if it was Qi Shaobao who led the army back then, would there be such a big defeat? Zhang Huangyan asked.

Qi Shaobao is the famous general Qi Jiguang, his life in the south of the peace of the Japanese, the north of the rejection of Mongolia, has never tasted defeat, if it is replaced by his leadership of the Qi army to deal with the thieves, naturally will not fail, this Chen Zilong can not deny.

"The Qi family's army is only a few thousand people, but they are invincible and have not tasted defeat, they win more with less, they have destroyed thousands of enemies, and they have few losses.

Qi Shaobao relied not on how clever the strategy was, but on the real military strength. Only by going deep into the army and being familiar with the soldiers' training skills, combat skills, and the use of weapons, can we truly train a strong army, and a strong soldier is the real capital for victory.

As for the scholar leading the troops to strategize and win the battle, it is just a paper talk, and it is simply a waterless Ping! ”

Listening to Zhang Huangyan's faint words, Chen Zilong knew that his will was firm and could not be persuaded anymore.
